The Chase’s Mark Labbett has revealed his much slimmer figure after saying he’s trying to save his marriage to his wife Katie after their split in May.
The 54-year-old’s almost 2 metre high frame and thinner body was obvious to those who saw him at a pub quiz.
His dramatic new look comes a month after he revealed that he’s giving his 26-year-old second cousin and wife a second chance.
The husband and wife took a break after Mark discovered that Katie had been cheating on him with another man for more than a year.
Mark also took to Twitter to reveal that he had lost 15 kilos. The TV star once weighed 171 and detailed in a series of tweets how his body had transformed.
“#thechase lost four inches off my chest and six inches off my belly in last six months. So they have bought me a new suit for the show. First target achieved,” he wrote.
The weight loss comes after Mark revealed that he turned down I’m A Celebrity . . . Get Me Out of Here! back in 2016 as he didn’t think the basic diet would be substantial enough for him.
He joked that he would resort to eating fellow teammates just to survive.
He said: “I’ve been asked to do the jungle but the base calorie intake is about 700. Look at me! If I survived a week I’d drop three stone and cannibalism would be on the cards.
“On Sugar Free Farm the weight fell off me because I couldn’t eat enough. Does ‘The Chase’ need me big? Put it this way, whenever I start losing weight because I’m doing a fitness kick of whatever, the producers go past me and hand me a second portion of pudding.”
In 2017, Mark also appeared on UK panel show Loose Women as a part of their male Body Stories campaign. It was here he revealed that he had been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and had lost 13 kgs.
“I’m not going to complain. I’ve done the crime so I’ll do the time,” he candidly admitted.
